The 40-year-old NYC mom of two is a lifestyle influencer and will make her debut in the iconic May issue

Harnessing the power of social media and a genuine drive to help people live their best lives, Melissia Wood-Tepperberg is building a health and wellness empire and sharing it with the world.

It’s no surprise the popular meditation teacher, certified yoga and pilates instructor, and certified health coach is gracing the SI Swimsuit issue as a 2023 Rookie which hits newsstands in May.

The entrepreneur launched her MWH subscription-based fitness brand before the pandemic and quickly amassed a huge following. As the host of the Move With Heart Podcast, the wellness buff tells her listeners to expect to laugh, learn, and be inspired by topics ranging from mindfulness and spirituality, to nutrition and fitness.

Wood-Tepperberg grew up in Syracuse, N.Y., and worked as a model and actress for nearly a decade during her 20s.

“Since I was a teenager, I remember flipping through the pages of SI and feeling such strength, beauty and empowerment,” Wood-Tepperberg said on Instagram. “Never in my life did I ever think that at the age of 40 and being a mother of two that I would now be in SI.”

Speaking about her recent SI achievement, she said, “what this really means to me is about never giving up on yourself.”

After shifting her focus to all-things wellness and working hard to build her brand, Wood-Tepperberg is stepping into the limelight and sharing her knowledge and talents with her adoring fans across the globe.

News quickly spread on social media about the health guru’s SI shoot. Wood-Tepperberg joined photographer Yu Tsai on the Caribbean Island of Dominica and donned a custom-made Ola Vida bikini for the spread.

“Melissa blows me away both personally and professionally,” SI Swimsuit editor-in-chief MJ Day said in a statement. “We couldn’t be more excited.”

Wood-Tepperberg is the second SI Swimsuit Rookie for 2023 to be announced. Also making her debut in the issue is model and designer Nicole Williams English.

Embracing the increasing popularity of living an alcohol-free lifestyle, Wood-Tepperberg says she loved the way she started feeling when she stopped consuming alcohol.

“I felt so grounded in myself in a way that I had never experienced before, and I just kept going with it,” she says.

Wood-Tepperberg credits her meditation practice for her sobriety, explaining that she made the choice to live alcohol free in 2019 and now works to reduce judgment from others for being sober.

Often encouraging her followers to find their strength—Wood-Tepperberg certainly has found hers as she strives to educate and inspire her followers.

In Short:
– Jerome Powell stated further interest rate cuts are uncertain after recent decreases, aiming to manage market expectations.
– The Fed ended its balance sheet reduction due to lending market disruptions and mixed views on future rate cuts among officials.

Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell indicated that further interest rate cuts are not guaranteed following the recent decrease. In a press conference, he stated that a further reduction in December is “far from” certain. His comments aimed to temper market expectations, where the likelihood of another cut was previously estimated at over 90 per cent.In response to Powell’s remarks, yields on the two-year treasury rose, and traders adjusted their expectations, now estimating a 60 per cent chance of a December reduction. Recently, the Federal Open Market Committee voted 10-2 to lower the federal funds rate target range to 3.75-4 per cent, in response to concerns about the labour market.

The Fed has also announced an end to its balance sheet reduction efforts due to disruptions in short-term lending markets. Since 2022, the bank has reduced its asset holdings by over $US2 trillion following aggressive purchases aimed at stabilising the economy after the pandemic.

Policy Divisions

Recent post-meeting statements highlighted mixed views among Fed officials about the pace of future rate cuts. Powell remarked that uncertainty surrounding economic conditions necessitates a cautious approach. Ongoing government shutdowns have limited policymakers’ access to crucial economic data, complicating decision-making.

Recent labour market developments show slowed job gains, raising concerns about employment. The Fed is also cautious about reducing rates too quickly due to inflation remaining above their 2 per cent target, reflecting a complex economic landscape. Policymakers have struggled with decisions amid data limitations from the government shutdown, impacting their assessments of inflation and economic indicators.

In Short:
– Trump and South Korea’s Lee finalised a trade deal requiring $350 billion in U.S. investments.
– Trump anticipates favourable talks with China to reduce tariffs and improve relations.

Donald Trump and South Korean President Lee Jae Myung finalised a contentious trade deal at a summit in South Korea on Wednesday. The U.S. President expressed optimism about an upcoming summit with China’s Xi Jinping.The agreement, unveiled in late July, stipulated that South Korea would make $350 billion in new investments in the U.S. to avoid significant tariffs on imports. However, negotiations on the investment structure had stalled.

Trump and Lee reached a compromise allowing Seoul to divide its $350 billion investment into $200 billion in cash, paid in $20 billion instalments. The remaining $150 billion will be allocated to shipbuilding investments.

Upon arrival from Tokyo, following a North Korea missile test, President Trump received an extravagant welcome in the historic city of Gyeongju, the venue for this year’s Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum.

His discussions with Xi are scheduled for Thursday in Busan. Trump downplayed the North Korea missile test and focused on his meeting with Xi, the leader of the world’s second-largest economy.

“I think we’re going to have a very good outcome for our country and for the world,” Trump stated. He anticipates reducing U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports in exchange for China agreeing to control the export of fentanyl precursor chemicals. The Wall Street Journal reported that tariffs could be halved from the current 20%.

China’s foreign ministry indicated that the upcoming meeting would foster positive developments in U.S.-China relations.
